About Your Scan
You no doubt have questions about your scan. This is a great place to start. Review the following general steps to get a better idea of what to expect before, during and after your scan. For more detailed information, visit the PYLARIFY® website, see the full Prescribing Information and talk to your healthcare provider.
Note that diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals involve exposure to radiation, which is associated with a dose-dependent increased risk of cancer. Talk to your healthcare provider about precautions to limit exposure.
Before
It is important to stay hydrated before your scan. While fasting is not required, your doctor may ask you to.
Upon arrival:

During
About one hour after your injection, your scan will begin. The scan could last up to 40 minutes.
During this time:
- A PET/CT technologist or nurse will assist you
- You’ll lie on your back on the scanner bed with your arms raised above your head

A PET scan is an imaging test that helps doctors look for disease sites in the body. A PET scan uses an imaging agent—like PYLARIFY®—that contains a small amount of radioactive tracer to make disease sites visible.
PYLARIFY® (piflufolastat F 18) Injection is a radioactive diagnostic agent. PYLARIFY is used along with positron emission tomography (PET) imaging for men with prostate cancer:
- with suspected metastasis who are candidates for initial definitive therapy.
- with suspected recurrence based on elevated serum levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level.
PYLARIFY Injection is designed to detect prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-positive lesions when used with PET imaging (scans).
For more information about PYLARIFY®, please, see the full Prescribing Information and talk to your healthcare provider.
